Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 His Indifference

In the banquet hall, Byron stood out amongst the crowd in his usual suit and leather shoes, engaging in conversations with several important figures.

It wasn't just his striking appearance that captured people’s attention, but also his extraordinary aura and demeanor.

Cora couldn't help but focus her gaze on Byron, and it seemed that he noticed it too. Catching her off guard, he turned around and met her eyes.

Cora felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Thoughts of the shoes he had given her yesterday left her unsure of how she should greet him.

Yet Byron showed no intention of greeting her whatsoever. He had already shifted his gaze away, continuing his conversations as if Cora were a stranger to him.

The indifference in his demeanor pierced Cora's heart, leaving her feeling dejected.

‘Of course.’ Cora thought, ‘Even my ex avoids me, why would Byron have any interest in me?’

It was absurd that despite knowing this, she had allowed herself to entertain fantasies about him harboring feelings for her.

The realization left Cora feeling embarrassed. She looked away quickly.

"Cora, come on! Don't be shy," Sally urged, unaware that Cora looked away because she was disappointed by Byron's indifference, not shy.

Sally believed that if Carter could disregard his connection to Byron and help Cora in the store the other day, even at the risk of offending Byron's families-to-be, then he must be very serious with his relationship with Cora.

Yet, Cora began to regret coming to this party. Her decision to come wasn't solely influenced by Sally's persuasions but also her own desire to see Byron.

Although Cora didn't know what to say or do after seeing him, she had been thinking about it ever since she received the shoes yesterday.

Now, those thoughts had been shattered entirely, leaving Cora with a strong desire to walk away. "Sally, I…" she began, wanting to tell her that she would like to leave.
